Ravi has tried to do everything right his whole life. It hasn't paid off, and he's stuck working for his ex-boyfriend while said ex-boyfriend moves on way too easily. To escape that mess, Ravi accepts a command position running a misfit, low-performing crew out in the middle of nowhere. His very first night in his new life looks promising when he meets charming, enigmatic Lio in a bar. Call it a moment of weakness, but Ravi lets Lio sweep him off his feet and into a bedroom.

It's hands off the recruit, or risk losing command in more ways than one. Pining heroes, dysfunctional found families, possible spaceships and plenty of inappropriate jokes, coming right up!

"Very good, Wesley," he breathed, the warm air fanning across the merchant captain's face. "Now I suggest you listen closely because I don't do this very often." Wesley curiosity grew, though he kept a healthy degree of skepticism as he listened to the pirate. "I'm prepared to offer you a deal." "What kind of deal?" he asked, his heart racing. "I seem to have found something that I want even more than your ship's cargo," he said with an unsettling smirk. "And I am prepared to let what remains of your crew sail free if I get it." "Name your price," Wesley said, at this point ready to agree to anything if his crew would live. Valentine reached out and tilted Wesley's head up so he could get a better view of it. His smirk seemed to grow as he let one little word slip through his lips. "You." *This is an LGBTQ+ story*
